- eFootball 2026 v5.0.0 standout additions include New Link Up system, pass cancel, and gameplay updates.
- Stadium customization and new Ambassador Packs are also part of the new update package.
eFootball 2026 is all set to arrive on the 14th of August, 2025, with the v5.0.0 Season Update, and all eyes are on the new features. Let me list all of these new inclusions that are coming to the game.
eFootball 2026 v5.0.0 New Features explained
Link Up System
I discussed this when the 30th anniversary stream was live. A new addition, and honestly, a much-needed one, was the Link Up System. This function allows managers to create partnerships between players who work well together. This boosts team performance values when certain in-match conditions are met.
Enhanced Defensive Gameplay
Defenders can now chase the ball faster, with a new sliding interception animation. Once the ball is intercepted, players can get up and take possession immediately. Defensive movement and decision-making have also been adjusted, improving automatic ball interception.
Mobile Graphics Upgrade
On high graphics settings, the mobile version now shows improved player details such as tattoos and hair movement, along with upgraded pitch textures, lighting effects, and stadium atmosphere. These changes are visible, and the shadows are improved significantly.
Cancel Passes on Mobile
If “we prayed and it happened” were a thing, then this would be there at the top. Finally, we can cancel passes on mobile. No more irritating clear goal chance misses. Nice to see, although late, the company responding to a feature that players have frequently requested.
Stadium Customization
This is another amazing addition. Now, we can customize stadium track areas with different colours, cheerleader dances, and decorative items. These can be obtained through campaigns and mission rewards, and are visible on opponents’ screens during matches.

Messi and Yamal Ambassador Pack
The Ambassador Pack featuring Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal is launching with this update separately, including a player card chosen by them, themed stadium decorations, and extra items for the deluxe edition for PC/Console.
Jose Mourinho + Inter Milan Double ST Pack
Yes, as part of the new Link Up Manager, Jose Mourinho, the Special One, is coming to the game alongside Samuel Eto’o and Wesley Sneijder, where both will have a double show time skill.
Thailand Language Support and Server Expansion
Thai language text is now available for the mobile version, with console and PC support planned for October. Dedicated game servers for Thailand are scheduled to be installed by the end of 2025 to improve connection quality for local players.
